Sean climbed into the cab and asked the well man to keep on trying to help the wounded man. Meanwhile, Sean verified that the gunman was dead and that...he had been the only outlaw in the cab.He made his way back to Ezra and said, "The cab's cleared, now. Anythin' changed here?" Nah, it's been quiet as a cemetery at midnight. What cha gonna do, now?" Well, I can't just climb in, that'd be askin' fer a bullet. Ya think we kin talk 'em into surrenderin'?" I doubt it, but we kin try. Ya want me to. The pizza then arrived so we then ate and had a few more drinks. We continued to talk about everything. I told her about my past and she did the same and telling how good her mom was to them growing up and even how amicable her parents divorce was. She said she was old enough to understand but Mandy had some trouble with it for a while. Kelly then asked me “How did mom and you get together or start to where you are now”. I wasn’t sure what to tell her and asked her if she spoke to her mom. "Come here, let's run it under some cold water."Thea accompanied her distressed lover over to the sink and turned the knob. To their unpleasant surprise, no water came out."What the hell?" Holly griped."I don't know, I guess the pipes must be frozen." Thea said apologetically."Well that's just lovely!" Don't panic; I'll go get some ice cubes from the cooler"Unfortunately, almost all of the ice had melted, so Thea had to soak a washcloth in the freezing water. Holly took it grudgingly and sat on. We’ll serve it ourselves like a family and it will be far more relaxing.” She said that and looked directly at Marie and gave her a slight smile and nod. Marie smiled back and lowered her gaze to the ground to hide her reaction.Mr. R smiled at her and shook his head in resignation. He got up out of his chair, moved to her and helped her to stand with him. He kissed her on the lips, “You are a strong woman, Barb. And, if that will make you happy, I am sure we will all enjoy your love expressed.
